Positively Stalinist I've started picking stuff at random from the CRU dump--and I'm astonished at how Stalinist it is. For example, this email from Tom Wigley to Rick Piltz suggesting that someone should work on getting the University of Wisconsin to reassess the granting of a Ph.D. to a ...

What Do You Know? It Was A Suicide I didn't blog about it when it was first reported, because while it looked bad to find a U.S. Census worker dead with antigovernment slogans on it, there could be other explanations. And now The Other McCain is reporting that it has been ruled a suicide.

Multiculturalist Fascism From the November 22, 2009 Minneapolis Star-Tribune : Do you believe in the American dream -- the idea that in this country, hardworking people of every race, color and creed can get ahead on their own merits? If so, that belief may soon bar you from getting a ...
